VSO - Sharing Skills, Changing Lives

Gallery - Bike Ride: Will Bryson

Keeps friends and family up-to-date with his experiences through his blog. He has a link to his JustGiving page for those inspired by his tales to put their hands in their pockets! He also did a sponsored bike ride with a friend, and has pictures and details of it in his blog.

“My friends and family were all very enthusiastic about the bike ride - and I liked the fact that the Justgiving website does all the boring work of collecting money. I know several people made donations after I left the UK, which wouldn't have happened otherwise. Also, because people have to pay by card on-line, I think they tend to give a little more.

Getting a friend to help worked really well - it made the ride itself much more fun, and it meant we had more people to ask for money! Finally people here in Tanzania have been very interested to see photos of the bike ride and hear about what volunteers do before they leave their home countries.”

Total raised so far: over £800.
